END ALL FORMS OF DEHUMANIZATION, PROMOTE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE – HON. IBEKWE NNAMDI CHIMDI (OZIOMACHI)  History bears painful scars of human suffering caused by oppression, slavery, and the denial of fundamental rights. One such tragedy that continues to echo across generations is the 1803 Igbo Landing on St. Simon’s Island, Georgia, USA, where a group of enslaved Igbos, brought forcefully from West Africa, chose death over bondage by walking into the waters in defiance of their captors.

 UNCOMMON WAYS: UNIQUE  GREATNESS -OZIOMACHI. ‎ ‎*Things considered conventional were once unconventional* ‎ ‎Historically, human reality and achievements have been defined by adherence and adaptation to conventionally identified or prescribed principles, rules, methods, practices, procedures, and patterns. Inherently, anything unconventional or antithetical is suspiciously considered out of place. Quite outlandish and unacceptable.
